Socially Speaking

We have all heard of, or possibly dabbled or immersed ourselves in Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Habbo yadda yadda yadda...
But of what use are these social networking sites when you can't access them from school??? not much!
There is, however, Ning. Ning allows you to create a social networking site which can be allowed through the Education Channel. (You may need to let them know your URL to add it to the cache, and check you ISP, but so far, for my groups it has worked well.
